I wanted to add some specific content on one of my pages through a widget. Added the option on the Coalition Theme Options to show a widget area on one of the pages. Saved. This area then appeared on the Appearance – Widgets page. I added a widget but nothing happens on the page where it should. Tried a different page and tried different widgets I have available.

Is this with the one page portfolio layout? If so, it doesn’t support adding additional columns/widget areas to pages within the one page layout. You’ll need to add all content to through the One Page Portfolio builder in the theme options.

So adding a Columns element and making part of it page/post content and the other widget area would work.

Yes, in that case it isn’t possible to do so in the way you are describing. You can make a page area encompass a column element with a widget area and the about page content but you can’t just add a widget to a page.

When viewing the template for the one page portfolio, you can use the dropdown above the area to select a column element and then hit the button next to the selection. It will be added to the bottom of the whole thing and then be dragged to wherever you want it to appear.
